The Department of Health has announced that there have been no further deaths related to Covid-19 over the past 24 hours, however an additional 12 cases of the virus have been confirmed.
It brings the overall number of deaths linked to the virus here to 1,764, with the total number of cases so far to 25,881. The HSE says it is working to identify any contacts the patients may have had to provide them with information and advice to prevent further spread.
The figures come as Tánaiste Leo Varadkar earlier today said that the government will consider proposals put forward by nursing unions, but said compensation was not on the agenda.
